How long could you go running the fridge before needing a charge? Could you fit more than 2 6V batteries under the step? Thanks!
It looks like the Quantum LF31 uses a residential fridge, does it have an option to run off just Gas? I seem to recall that those types use an inverter to power the fridge from the batteries. I know use with the Thor Chateau, it does not use a residential style fridge, so we can use propane to cool while dry camping.

I have not tried myself, but I have seen other people say, Gas powered fridges should be fine for long dry camping but that Residential style ones are not because of the power systems they use.

Hope something works for you.
